Detachable string magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy for the noninvasive diagnosis of esophageal diseases: A prospective, blind clinical study
CONCLUSION: This study revealed that ds-MCE has the same diagnostic effects as traditional EGD for esophageal diseases and is more comfortable and convenient than EGD, providing a novel noninvasive method for treating esophageal diseases.PMID:38577194 | PMC:PMC10989486 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1121 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology)

Comparing Pre- and Post-Operative Findings in Patients Who Underwent Laparoscopic Proximal Gastrectomy With a Double-Flap Technique: A Study on High-Resolution Manometry, Impedance pH Monitoring, and Esophagogastroduodenoscopy Findings
CONCLUSIONS: There is no significant functional difference in HRM and impedance pH monitoring tests after DFT. DFT appears to be useful in preserving LES function following proximal gastrectomy.PMID:38575507 | DOI:10.5230/jgc.2024.24.e1 (Source: Journal of Gastric Cancer)

Novel Endoscopic Findings of Lesions with a Short White Hair-like Appearance in the Lower Esophagus
Conclusion This study is the first to report the prevalence of multiple short white hair-like appendages in the lower esophagus. The occurrence of such lesions is inversely associated with the presence of reflux esophagitis.PMID:38569905 | DOI:10.2169/internalmedicine.3396-23 (Source: Internal Medicine)
